Google Pixel 3 Lite and Lite XL leak out entirely with dual-tone designs and thick bezels
Apple has the iPhone XR, Sony has the Xperia XZ2 Compact, and Samsung will soon have the Galaxy S10 Lite. According to recent reports, though, these devices will eventually face tough competition from Google’s upcoming Pixel 3 Lite series. Speaking of which, it has just appeared in a new set of renders courtesy of 91Mobiles.
Unlike the regular Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL which sport different front panel designs, the Pixel 3 Lite models will be identical in every way except for size. From the renders, it’s clear that both models resemble the regular Pixel 3 quite closely by making use of a notch-less display. This time around, though, the 5.5-inch and 6-inch panels feature a slightly taller 18.5:9 aspect ratio that is accompanied by thicker bezels all around.
Taking a look at the rear, both the Pixel 3 Lite and Pixel 3 Lite XL sport the latest iteration of Google’s two-tone design. But in what is presumably a cost-cutting measure, the internet giant has swapped out the glass construction for a cheaper polycarbonate one. Nevertheless, the fingerprint scanner has been retained alongside the single rear camera featured on the flagship Pixel 3 models, although this time around there’s a noticeable camera bump.
Aside from this, the Pixel 3 Lite series features a USB Type-C port and what appears to be a second speaker on the bottom of the device, and a 3.5mm jack on top, which is certainly surprising considering Google removed the port on its flagship models.
